call waiting

human , the second laziest ( second only to sandeepnoid ) and most social of all carbon based creatures had to be loyal to both his attributes : lazinees and bein social .
so he invented a seemingly harmless gadget called the tele-phone .
and after that neither he nor the species sandeepniod has ever lived peacefully !

and , as if it was not good enuf tat he could now talk to fella humanoids and s-noid without moving his butt , he added another feature to it . this feature called : CALL WAITING .

now it makes total sense . an object x of the humanoid class calls u when u are talking to yet another object y of the same class . now u dont want x to be deprived of the love tat y was currently getting . so u get these series of seemingly innocuous beeps , alerting u abt x's call , wanting to be attended .
see , its so simple !

but now the universe has never liked anything simple has it ?!
so it toys with the poor human/sandeep-noid .
playing the good old probability game !
( the same game tat had made life hell for the above mentioned unfortunate blokes , during a certain exam by the name pqt )

so this is how the call waiting torture works :

" all the people who want to call a certain A will call A at the same time , 100 microseconds give or take ! "

there are 24 hrs in a day .
that is 24x60 mins .
now say each person talks to A for 5 mins .
that gives room for 287 other ppl to call exclusively .
but alas that works only in a galaxy not infested wit the robability concept !!
cuz in this galaxy , all creatures call concurrently !

that is a P() = 86,350 : 1

and we think that we are living in a world of random actions .
HA !
